The old man bowed his head deeply and said respectfully: "Your Majesty is so ambitious, we must go through fire and water, and we are willing to die for your Majesty's eternal inheritance!"
Li Yinhu said with satisfaction: "Very good, I will never treat you badly. When you are successful, you will all be ministers of the dragon, and you are the first to achieve success!"
The old man's eyes were shining with excitement, and he looked at Li Yinhu, as if they had both seen the day when they were done.
At this moment, in the East Palace.
"The small red clay stove, the green ants' newly baked wine, it's snowing in the evening, can you have a drink?"
In the garden of the back hall of the East Palace, Li Chen was wearing a bright yellow brocade silk robe and was playing with a small charcoal basin.
Opposite him was Su Jinpa, wrapped in an embroidered satin cloak, with a happy and angry little face exposed from the snow-white fur.
Seeing the rice wine bubbling on the red-hot stove, Li Chen raised his hand to pick up the wine pot with a pick, took two green plums and threw them into the bowl, and then poured in a bowl of steaming rice wine.
, handed it to Su Jinpa.
Su Jinpa was still thinking about the poem, so he subconsciously picked it up and said with fascination: "In just four sentences, he expresses the comfort of being warmed by the stove in winter. It is not so much a poem as it is a poem.
A kind of artistic conception and situation.”
“Every good life must be unfolded on the basis of material conditions... Material conditions mean food and clothing. If you can’t have enough to eat, and you can’t even wear warm clothes, who has time to talk about emotions and situations?
"
Li Chen took a sip of green plum wine. The warm, hot and slightly sour wine poured in from his throat, and then some sweetness returned from the sourness. He smiled and said: "Yes, this Shaozhou tribute rice wine paired with Liangzhou green plums is indeed a good match."
A must."
"Liangzhou? From Liangzhou to the capital, you must pass through Xishan. The official road in Xishan Province has resumed traffic? Does that mean that the situation in Xishan Province has been initially controlled?"
Su Jinpa's sense of smell was extremely keen, and he immediately noticed some information and asked.
Li Chen smiled and said: "It turns out that Zhao Heshan is indeed a capable person. It's not worth my efforts to support him."
Su Jinpa curled his lips and said: "They say emperors are ruthless. You haven't even ascended the throne, but you have already understood the essence of it. Zhao Heshan risked his head to move at any time and lived a bloody life in Xishan Province.
It's good for you, you took all the credit as soon as you opened your mouth."
Li Chen raised his eyebrows slightly and said: "Although he stood on the surface to attract firepower and was besieged, the most dangerous thing is never the attack and annihilation on the surface, but the hidden arrows behind his back."
"During this period, the imperial court's records on Zhao Heshan were piled up to the height of one person. Not once or twice did ministers ask Zhao Heshan for his crimes. If it weren't for me, he would have been arrested and stripped of his skin and cramps. I will admit it.
What happened to the credit?"
Su Jinpa hummed softly and said: "So since ancient times, it has been much more difficult to be an upright official than to be a corrupt official. If you do something good for the people, you have to face attacks from all directions, and you may end up with your body and head missing."
"It's not that it's more difficult to be an honest official than a corrupt one, but most corrupt officials are tactful and know how to figure out the thoughts of those in power. Honest officials stick to their own bottom line and principles."
"You said, there is an official who shouts every day that the king is like the father, the minister is the son, and everything the ministers think should be used by the king and father, and the one who treats the people lightly all day long, as a king should set an example, and the prince should break the law.
Among the officials who are guilty of the same crimes as the common people, which one is more lovable?"
